| description | From a psychoanalytical point of view, the cinematographic art can be understood – most of the time- either from the logic of applied psychoanalysis or as isomorphic terms. This limits the contribution that the combination of film and psychoanalysis can be made when both those fields are given recognition in their power and singularity. The purpose of this article is to identify what is revealed as essential in an investigation process to make film analysis the most useful as possible. From an early time, Walter Benjamin noticed that both psychoanalysis and film had opened fields of the senses that, up until then, could not be seen or heard; and that both of these fields, sight and sound combined, could be very powerful. Cinematographic language - when recognized in its full potential – can capture the effects of reality like no other material can. Because of this, our hypothesis is to consider that bonding the psychoanalytical point of view with the cinematographic point of view can open a “double focal distance”. These two focal distances, when they converge together, tend to bond what can be seen with what can´t be seen; the invisibility of the unconscious problematic, with the visibility of image and movement. |

Desde la mirada psicoanalítica, el arte cinematográfico se comprende –la mayor parte del tiempo– sea desde una lógica de psicoanálisis aplicado, sea en términos “isomórficos”. Eso limita el aporte que la confluencia entre cine y psicoanálisis puede generar cuando a esos dos campos se los reconoce en su potencia y singularidad respectivas. Este artículo se propone identificar sintéticamente lo que se revela esencial en un proceso de investigación para que el análisis de un film pueda ser lo más fructífero posible. Walter Benjamín vio muy tempranamente que el psicoanálisis y el cine habían abierto campos de la mirada y de la escucha de lo que hasta entonces no podía ser visto ni oído. Y que esos campos podían ser poderosamente complementarios. El lenguaje cinematográfico –cuando se lo reconoce en su plena potencia– permite captar efectos de realidad como ningún otro material lo hace. En consecuencia, nuestra hipótesis es considerar que ligar armoniosamente la mirada cinematográfica a la mirada psicoanalítica es abrir una “doble distancia focal”. Dos distancias focales que cuando confluyen tienden a ligar lo invisible con lo visible. Lo invisible de las problemáticas inconscientes con lo visible de la imagen-movimiento.
